Strengthening Ties: Pakistan and Türkiye’s Railway Cooperation
In an exciting development for both countries, Pakistan and Türkiye have agreed to deepen their cooperation in railway engineering and technology transfer. This partnership emerged from a meeting between Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi and Türkiye’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloglu, during the Regional Transport Ministers’ Conference 2025 held in Islamabad.
During this pivotal discussion, the focus was on enhancing railway development projects and improving logistics connectivity. With Türkiye’s extensive experience in railway digitalization, both countries aim to advance Pakistan’s rail infrastructure and operational efficiency. This initiative not only promises to modernize the existing network but also to foster a more integrated transport system that benefits both nations.
Minister Abbasi emphasized the growing bond between Pakistan and Türkiye, highlighting the abundant opportunities for Turkish involvement in Pakistan Railways. The collaboration will aim to address ongoing modernization efforts and reforms, marking a significant step toward not just upgrading transport, but also boosting trade and economic cooperation across the region.
They also discussed important topics such as developing key logistics corridors, improving port connectivity, and upgrading transport fleets. This cooperation is crucial for enhancing regional transport integration and facilitating smoother trade practices.
One of the notable outcomes is the establishment of a joint working group to oversee transport infrastructure projects and review the progress of agreed-upon initiatives. This proactive approach aims to ensure that both countries remain aligned in their goals and make steady advancements in rail transport.
As we move forward, the partnership between Pakistan and Türkiye has the potential to not only transform railways but also serve as a model for future collaborations in various sectors.
